Just Pine Needles

I was fooling around with a photo I had taken a while ago, after a rain storm, of some pine needles on the ground. Here's what I came up with! This was fun.

Scientific Illustration

I stumbled onto a couple of scientific art/illustration sites and I though I'd pass them along to anyone who is interested. One is http://www.science-art.com/ and the second is Guild of Natural Science Illustrators | GNSI
www.gnsi.org. Does anyone have any experience as a member of either of these sites? The first one looked interesting but doesn't seem to have updated newsletters or advertising. The last newsletter looks like 2007. But there are some good links on this page: http://www.science-art.com/links/. I sent them an email to see what's up with updating their site. I may contact a few of their artists for some feedback also.

Volunteering

Always wanted to volunteer and decided to submit an application to a no-kill feline shelter. I'll keep you up to date when I hear back. This is exciting!

Vacation is over

We had a great time on Newfound Lake in New Hampshire. But all good vacations must end. Here's a great sunset over our beach and one of my granddaughter, Emily, and Cleopatra, having a deep conversation about when we will get to the ice cream shop at the end of the lake!
